Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, chapter 18, p. 586. Written by Jonathan Berry.

Issue an order protecting religious employers

The document says “shouldWho acts: PresidentHow: executive orderp. 586 in the PDF
What the document says

“The President should make clear via executive order that religious employers are free to run their businesses according to their religious beliefs”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 586

The chapter says this should hold notwithstanding general nondiscrimination laws, and that the order should support the participation of religious employers and employees as federal contractors and in federal programs. It separately asks Congress to make Title VII's religious organization exemptions more explicit.

What the document actually says

“The President should make clear via executive order that religious employers are free to run their businesses according to their religious beliefs”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 586
That sentence, in plain words

Sign an order. It would say bosses may run a firm by their faith.

What this is about

Some bosses run a firm on faith lines. The book says an order should protect that. It would hold even against some equal rights rules.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to read this page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the book itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
